Quantitation Computation

Back to FDG-PET

QIBA PET-CT Quantitation Computation Technical Subcommittee Charge

This subcommittee will document the requirements for computing Standard Update Values from reconstructed attenuation corrected PET images and headers supplied in DICOM format, irrespective of modality vendor, model or software version, with the intent that analysis software from a different vendor will produce the same numeric values as the modality manufacturer intended.

All interested parties are invited to participate, particularly those who can provide or confirm the information required.
